Sounds like you had a great time...I googled the station...it's a beautiful old building. They don't build them like that anymore...that much style would be very expensive to reproduce in a modern building.

I love that style. funny story about that station. the floor for the ladder truck is about a foot lower than the engine bay, because thats the only way the ladder will fit in the bay. the building is on the national historic landmark registry, so the building itself cant be modified, but they lowered the floor. the reason? the newer ladder trucks couldnt fit inside because of the curved door. they would hit the control stand for the ladder.(the white box at the rear of the ladder truck) alright im out. got a party to go to.

ttyl. pics will be up later.

Morning, all. I've gotta go to work in 10 or 15 minutes.

Gotta pick up some corn (3 sacks of it) and bring it in with me cause I live like 200 feet from where we get it and work is all the way across town.
